Note: More characters are introduced here.

"Starting about"

As two shadowy figures crept over the couch, one small boy gave them a questioning look. The Ainu made a 'shush' sign, putting one hand on his mouth. The latter just shrugged, rolling his golden eyes as he slumped back on the chair.

He looked outside the window, as he placed a hand on the wall, leaning his head on this, he then looked around the room. There, he saw the object of attention of the two boys from earlier. Ren saw Hao… lying on the couch, his eyes closed… and then, his eyes darted to the left. He saw something.. Or someone – Lyserg. The green-haired boy had rested his head on Hao's chest, one hand dangling from the couch. Hao's left hand was on top of Lyserg's back. As if holding him down. 'Dear God….' Ren thought, as he looked at them.

Lyserg flinched slightly, as he heard a rattling sound at the far end of the room. But they were still sound asleep. Literally having each other in arms.

At the far-end of the room, mumbling was heard. "Shush! How could you possibly break a frame just by leaning on the wall?" An annoyed Horo asked. The brunette yawned, giving a grin. Horo shrugged his shoulders on this and took out something from behind. At first, when the light had hit its mirror-like thing, it shined. Then at another angle, it showed completely. It was a camera. Ren raised an eyebrow at the boys, before shaking his head. The two boys walked silently, as if spies, going closer to the couch. Their heads peeked from behind, their eyes falling on the two sleeping ones.

Horo quickly jumped up from behind and landed in front of the couch. Grinning, he flashed his camera. The light was strong. "Horo… turn the flash off." Yoh whispered, gesturing at his older twin who wrinkled his eyebrows from the light. Horo nodded in agreement, then clicked it again.

"What do you think you're going to do with those, hm?" Ren asked, raising an eyebrow. His voice loud enough.

"Blackmail," Horo replied casually, as he took another shot from another angle. With all the noise, Lyserg couldn't help but rub his eyes, and slowly opening them. He looked around the room, to see Horo holding up a camera, having a surprised look on his face, then at the back of the couch, he saw Yoh, grinning like before. At the corner, he saw Ren, eyeing the two.

That's when Lyserg figured it out… He sat up, "Ewe! Hao!" Lyserg wailed as he quickly got up and came tumbling on the floor. The said brunette opened his eyes, and had a smirk, slowly making its way on his face. "Come on, Lyserg," He said, his smirk full now, as he gestured, sitting straight up, and patting the cushion on the couch.

Lyserg stuck out his tongue, "No way, Hao!" He then glared at him slightly. It was always like this. Lyserg never admitted that he likes Hao that much to anyone, but to his surprise, Hao himself figured it out in the end. Lyserg felt a hand, slowly caressing his cheeks, he turned pale pink and looked behind him, he saw Hao, smirking slightly. "H-Hao… Get your hands off me… or else," He threatened. Hao nodded his head, and did so. He then turned to the three other boys who stood there, dumb-founded. He winked at the yawning Yoh and the others. Horo's grin grew wider, as he turned the camera on again.

Hao ran his hand through his hair, then slowly whispered something into Lyserg's ears which made the younger boy blush… As Lyserg put his guard down, Hao quickly placed a small peck on his cheeks.

Click!

The camera flashed, right on time, too. Hao backed away as Lyserg stared at Horo then at Hao. He blinked. Knowing what Horo did.

"H-horo!" He called out, as Horo perked his head up, giving him an innocent face. Horo turned to Hao, who mouthed a few things, then grinned. "No way, Lyserg." Horo said, he then made a run for it as Lyserg jumped on the couch – then jumped back down, but landing in the opposite direction – to the kitchen. "Horo! I mean it!" He barked, as he ran for the blue-haired boy.

"Like I said…. Not a chance." Horo said, having one hand in the air, it was the hand that held the camera tight. He kept running, Hao on the other hand sat back down on the couch. His legs crossed, "He'll get used to it," He told himself, he then felt the other side being pressed, and Yoh had sat beside him, wearing a grin. "Aren't you getting tired?"

"Of what?" Asked Hao, giving Yoh a questioning stare.

"Tormenting Lyserg,"

"Nah-uh."

"Face facts, Yoh, Hao wouldn't give up on that kid even if he's paid to do so," Ren finally said, looking at the set of twins.

Hao nodded, having a smile on his face. "Finally! Someone understands," He said, he then flicked Yoh's nose playfully. Yoh gave a grin, apparently, Yoh never tires of grinning that much. "I see," Yoh said, rubbing his nose as he looked at the back, his head turned and one hand dangling from the couch. Lyserg and Horo were still chasing each other.

----

The day was flying by pretty fast, before they knew it, it was dawn already and they were getting their bags ready. Ren opened the door to the cold morning and placed his bags outside. Horo, who was carrying a big backpack, threw his beside Ren's. Hao and Yoh had similar bags, except for the fact that Yoh's was white and Hao's was red, a backpack, also. Ren and Lyserg were the only ones who used strollers – Ren's had a logo that printed out a large 'C', which was crossed. Meaning, it was Channel. Lyserg's was obviously a green stroller. Never the less, they got ready to leave to their destination – to Ren's rest-house at Honolulu, Hawaii. Yes, there. But not the center, it was at the desolate area wherein not much people came.

"Would you dolts hurry!?" Cried an impatient Ren as she crossed his arms, Ren was now sitting inside his long black car. "Come on, Ren! Wait just one minute," Horo sighed as he gave Ren a waving hand. He then ran back inside the house.

'Idiots, if we don't get a move on, we'll miss the damn plane,' Ren thought, shrugging as he looked at the rear-view mirror and found Yoh at the back-seat. Snoozing.

"Great…" He mumbled sarcastically as Yoh yawned, still asleep.

"Here, here! We're done!" Horo groaned, as he jumped in the car, followed by a yawning Hao and a sleepy Lyserg.

"Uhg, why the hell do we have to get up this early?" Hao moaned, as he sat next to Yoh and leaned his head on his shoulder, trying to close his eyes.

"The plane leaves early." Ren answered casually. "And you lazy bums have gotten lazier…" He added, rolling his eyes as the car started to run.

Lyserg yawned as he looked out the window. The trees were zooming in fast, he sighed as they passed a few sights. He yawned yet again, as Hao's eyes dropped to Lyserg.

"Snuckums, are you still sleepy?" He said, smirking as he scooted near Lyserg, Horo slumped on the seat as Hao moved in closer to Lyserg who snickered. "Shut up, Hao."

Hao smirked, "Come on, can't you just lay cool for a second?"

"Its early in the morning, baka."

"You should listen to him, Hao…" Horo yawned.

"Sod off." Hao said, as a grin now replaced his smirk.

"God! Would you keep it down, Hao!?" Ren said, banging the seat as he glared at the Asakura.

The trip to the airport was that loud. And was that annoying.

-----

"Hao! You sick little freak!" A voice from behind called, Hao looked to whoever it was and saw that it was his rather good friend, Kai.

More people started to show up as the airport got more crowded. The others were now ready to load their bags when…

"DEAR GOD! NIGEL! YOU IDIOT!" Hao screamed as someone poked him from the back. Hao has been having… caffeine.. Again… therefore he's been jumpy…

Lyserg chuckled at this, but shrugged it off as he placed his bag on the counter, getting ready to enter the plane.

Horo and Ren on the other hand dragged Yoh. He'd been yawning and apparently, been lacking sleep.

"Lets see, Nigel and that idiot Kai is here… so, who's missing?" Hao mumbled to himself, counting his fingers as he spotted a teenager with spiky brown hair. "ERICK!" He exclaimed, throwing a rather thin puzzle book at the said boy.

"What the f---?!" Erick said as he whirled around. "Hao – you noisy…" He had a smirk on as Hao indicated for him to get moving.

8 teenagers, about to get aboard a plane going to Honolulu Hawaii.

"Man, I so cannot wait for the sun!" Kai smirked as he put his feet on the chair in front of him.

"Kai, you idiot, stop kicking the back of my chair," Ren glared as the boy grinned and took his feet off.

"Feeling so hot, Ren?" Nigel grinned, poking Ren as the Tao gave him death glares.

"O-Okay, I'll back away…" He said, 'For now, that is.'

Hao was seated beside Erick as Yoh was seated with Ren, Horo with Kai and Lyserg with Nigel.

"Why did I even think of inviting you dopes?" Ren hissed, staring at Hao and his 'group', consisting of Erick, Kai, And Nigel.

Nigel placed a finger on his lip as he answered Ren's question plainly, "Obviously, this little vacation won't be fun if we're not around."

Ren groaned, "Apparently… someone has been turned inside out."

"You mean you?" A spiky-haired boy grinned, looking at Ren.

"You say one more thing, I swear I'm going to cut you to shreds!"

"Excuse me, but would you please keep it down?" A flight-attendant said, as she walked over to them. The 'group' were disturbing a lot of passengers. To think they were seated in the business class all thanks to Ren.

"You heard her, Ren…." Erick whispered as he received another death glare.

Ruri: Ahem! Ahem! Thats done... and apparently, Nigel, Erick and Kai have just entered the scene! They're as you say... idiots... but still friends. Also, I know I took a week to update, but I was waiting for more thingies. And this chapter isn't that long... o.O'' It'll get longer... but some will be short. not just super short! I'll just wing a few chapters. And I know this is a suspense fic, so just wait on about chapter 3 or 4 or 5. Lol. xD
